I am thinking of doing a 4 door conversion on a revell 91 ford f350 dually. If anyone has pics of how the truck looks afterwards I would like to see them and if anyone has advice or anything that can help with the conversion that would be great thanks.

I've done this conversion in the past, actually for a resin aftermarket kit.  Simply Google "1991 Ford F-350 Crew Cab"  (I just did!), and there are all kinds of very clear photo's of that era Ford Crew Cab.  Essentially, the shapes of the extension are those of the standard cab, of course with elongated sides (rear doors).  What you will need to do, though, is find out the BBC )Bumper-To-Back-Of-Cab dimension as that is where you get the length that the rear cab extension needs to be.  The back wall of the extended cab and crew cabs is essentially the same panel as on the standard 2-door pickup cab, so two of the kits will be needed, for to stretch, the other to get the added rear section--same with the chassis as well.  Some research will also give you the layout of the driveshaft system, which would be at least a 2-piece shaft, with a center U-joint, frame crossmember and "pillow block" for the midship bearing.

Thanks Art I did look at some pics online and did some research and I came up with this it's not exact and still needs some bodywork and tuchup work but I am happy with the outcome. It is only my second time stretching a vehicle. Let me know what you think.
